“Learning to Forget You” is the second feature film by director Yu Sakudo. Sharing about the film “Learning to Forget You”, director Yu Sakudo said that he was very honored when the film was selected to be shown at a theater in Da Nang city and was selected to participate in the competition. In the coming time, Japan's strength is still horror and drama films. He also explained that the shadows of the deceased in Japanese films are not ghosts, but are illusionary images that remain with the living. Instead of letting the deceased return as ghosts, we want the deceased to return with the nostalgic images of those who remain. By participating in this film festival, the film crew hopes to introduce Japanese films widely to friends around the world .

Regarding the film “Sacred Fire”, director Abhilash Sharma said that the film was shot in northern India, a sacred place of Buddhism.

He also hopes that everyone will go to the cinema to enjoy the film more fully…
